A SHADOW TOO HEAVY TO DRAG BEHIND ME
A DRAWING MADE BY ERASING, IN WHICH THE DEBRIS LEFT BEHIND CONSTITUTES THE FINISHED WORK

42 HOUR DURATIONAL DRAWING PERFORMANCE 
COMPLETED IN 7, 6 HOUR SHIFTS OVER THE COURSE OF 1 WEEK— 
DOCUMENTATION IMAGES ABOVE WERE TAKEN AT THE END OF EACH SHIFT AND ARE PRESENTED IN REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

POWDERED GRAPHITE IS BUFFED AND BURNISHED ON A 7’ X 8’ SECTION OF WALL OVER THE COURSE OF 6 HOURS

EACH SUBSEQUENT 6 HOUR SESSION IS SPENT METHODICALLY REMOVING THE BURNISHED GRAPHITE FROM THE WALL SURFACE USING WHITE PLASTIC ERASERS

AT THE END OF EACH 6 HOUR SESSION A DOCUMENTATION IMAGE IS TAKEN

ALL ERASER SHAVINGS ARE PRESERVED, AS THEY ARE THE DRAWING

THE SHAVINGS ARE A PHYSICAL QUANTIFICATION OF TIME— 
EACH SHARD IS EMBEDDED WITH THE GRAPHITE THAT WAS ONCE ON THE WALL AND THE PHYSICAL EXERTION REQUIRED TO REMOVE IT
